My wife & I just arrived in Naples in May 2006. We checked surf just north of Cuma (and Naples' bay) 4-5 July and it was small (ankle high) wind-driven surf. It's a really shallow, gradually sloping ocean floor leading to the shore; kind of like florida atlantic coast but even shallower. We haven't surfed Italy yet, but owner of Club Maradona (a beachside bar) spoke good english and said surf season (bigger waves) is September through March, w/ waves up to 2 meters. We hope he's right!
